Study
Differential equations are the main tool for mathematical modeling of physical, chemical, biological, economical and many other processes and phenomena. This course is about various types of ordinary differential equations and their systems. We study in detail explicit methods of solving the equations as well as qualitative methods. Rigorous theory is illustrated by concrete examples from applied fields of knowledge. In particular, the information contained in the course forms the basis for further study of mathematical physics equations.
Assignments:
• On seminars students are given problems for solving in class. At the end of each class they get a home task.
• There are two big home works with problems covering all the material studied in each module. It is required not only to submit the assignments for checking but also to answer the additional questions concerning the work.
• Students are given a test at the end of each module.
Grading policy:
• The work during semester is grading from 0 to 100 points.
• A student is permitted to take the exam only if he has scored at least 60 points.
• Five-point grading scale is used on the exam. To get the highest mark 5(A) it is necessary to have at least 80 points for the semester work.
• The final grade coincides with the examination result.
